On this episode I chat with Casting Director Sydney Aldridge. Sydney has been working in casting since 2015. Starting her journey as a casting assistant at Beach Casting and later moving on to work with Rose Wicksteed, Anna McAuley, Kate & Lou and most recently, Sasha Robertson. Sydney comes from an acting background and that underpins the way she works as a Casting Director.
